 the gypsy poet

new england gypsies


  i journeyed to new england
      within birch and heathered down
      i rode upon a pony there
      where gypsies bedded down

      there were sackcloth on the floor there
      clay beneath your feet
      gravel on the sidewalk
      the nicest folks you'd meet

      i trod upon the bracken
      where the rhododendron grew
      there were dartford warblers singing
      not far from waterloo

      the village children came there
      to crown the gypsy king
      there were whites and coopers laughing
      i heard a blackbird sing

      across from wallisdown and bare cross
      the gypsy rovers danced
      there was music in the night
      when the gypsy lady glanced

      she said i was so gifted
      i had the rose tattoo
      i was a lucky fellow
      from alderney via Poole
